About the event

An Executive Learning Journey Through Montréal

Siinda Executive Insights 2027 will bring together a select group of C-level executives and business owners from Siinda member companies for an immersive programme in Montréal—one of Canada’s most dynamic centres of technology, AI and entrepreneurship.

Through expert briefings, executive discussions, company visits and peer exchange, participants will explore Canada and Québec’s innovation economy, responsible AI, digital business, SME markets and international growth.

More than a traditional conference, this is an intimate executive forum designed to encourage candid conversation, meaningful connections and practical takeaways. Delegates will experience Montréal’s business ecosystem first-hand—and return with fresh perspectives to apply within their own organizations.

Participation is reserved exclusively for CEOs, business owners and C-level executives from Siinda member companies.
